I have only 8" cake pans. Do I need to adjust the recipe or will it work in 8" pans? Thank you.
Hi Colleen, You may need to use 3 8-inch pans. Make sure to only fill the pans 2/3 of the way full. If you only have 2 pans you can make a few cupcakes with the remaining batter. Happy baking!
With eggs priceswhat they are today, if the recipe calls for 6 eggs. Is it ok if l use 4
Hi Nina, We know! We feel the pain of rising price of eggs in our Kitchen as well. Eggs help to form the structure of the cake, adds flavor and also adds moisture since they are made primarily of water. Unfortunately we haven't tested this recipe with only using 4 eggs so can not make a recommendation here. If you try it, come back and let us know how it turned out. Happy baking!
Hi, I only have salted butter , is it OK to use?
Hi Jaquitta, Yes you can use salted butter and reduce the amount of salt by 1/2 teaspoon. Happy baking!
I can remember my mom using swans cake flour to do her baking I was about 12 years old and I used to watch her as she would bake her cakes but I tell you they were delicious my mother is no longer here and I have to go over the tradition of doing the baking now in I still use the swan cake flour it's the best in my book.
Is this sifted or unsigned flour measurements? Do you happen to have this (or any) recipe in grams? Thanks!
I made this cake tonight 12- 15- 21 and it turned out perfectly I even used you all's chocolate ganache recipe for the frosting delicious
I have a question, I only use Swans cake flour and my cakes comes out with small black spots on them. I don't know why?
Hi Alicia, I've forwarded your information to our Consumer Affairs Department. Someone will be reaching out. Happy Baking!
I’ve been a baker for years and had a terrible finish. I coated the pans thoroughly but still had bad sticking. Cake was so soft it was crumbling and the bottom layer fell flat. The icing way WAY too sweet, with chucks of kosher salt. Won’t try again.
Hi Rhonda, We are so sorry that you did not have a good experience with this recipe. I've forwarded your info on to our Consumer Affairs Department. Someone should be reaching out
i’m going to bake this cake for a friends birthday
LOVE IT! Gloria, Let us know how it turns out. Happy baking!

Can you make this as a 9x13 sheet pan cake?
Hi Shani, The Vanilla Buttermilk Cake should bake nicely in a 9 x 13 pan. Happy baking!
